A very good vintage
- The unharmed grapes were picked over two weeks; the bunches wonderfully rich in sugar and with a very satisfactory level of acidity. Alcoholic fermentations produced fruity notes, and this sunshine-filled vintage will no doubt be less chiseled and less saline in style than the 2014 vintage.
Jacques Lesimple, oenology advisor in Chablis, confirms that 2015 will be a very good vintage: “Some feared a lack of acidity but that’s not the case – very few wines lack vivacity. This 2015 vintage is a sunny one, which stands out for its fruitiness. It will give rise to wines which are very accessible for consumers. For me, it can be classified as a very good vintage.”
